Top Pump.Fun Ecosystem Tokens Tumble Amid Reports of $1B Fundraise
Fart-powered joke tokens suddenly weren't so funny for crypto traders on Tuesday. A basket of the largest ecosystem tokens faded from recent highs after Blockworks reported the Solana-based launchpad is pitching a $1 billion token sale that would value the project at roughly $4 billion. Sources told Blockworks the sale could close within weeks, though details on tokenomics remain launched on the platform slipped amid the news. Fartcoin (FARTCOIN), the largest Pump-launched token by market capitalization, dropped 7%. Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT), Moo Deng (MOODENG) and Goatseus Maximus (GOAT) gave back as much as 6%, while Alchemist AI (ALCH) — the big gainer on Monday — flipped red after an early 25% pop. The moves wiped about $150 million in aggregate value, trimming but not erasing the sector's outsized weekly gains. A billion-dollar raise means a new Pump token and, potentially, a fresh supply. Even if the deal channels cash back to users later, traders worry about a flood of 'farm-and-dump' flows hitting the very memecoins the platform helped create. Deeper concerns, however, spread across crypto circles on X as developers and traders questioned the need of a mammoth fundraise. 'Why does pump need to raise 1bn tho? how is it gonna invest that for growth if it already has made 675m and hasnt spent that either what are they planning to do with 1bn?,' DeFiLlama founder @0xngmi wrote. 'The Pump guys went through an accelerator, raised a small round, then proceeded to make almost a BILLION in revenue in 1 year and got a 4B valuation to raise another 1B,' said Mert Mumtaz, founder at Helius, 'Those are simply insane numbers in an insane amount of time.' Only three weeks ago tried to sweeten the pot users looking to issue tokens using the platform by handing 50% of PumpSwap fees — or five basis points of every trade — straight to token creators. At the time, founder Alon Cohen pitched the change as a way to eliminate rinse-and-dump behavior: If developers earn recurring fees, they don't have to dump their own coin on the community.

Justice for Peanut Bill
Remember the unjust and tragic murder of Peanut the Squirrel? Well NY Republicans are working to make sure it never happens again. I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. Late last fall social media sensation, Peanut the Squirrel, was unjustly and tragically ripped from his owner by New York State environmental officials and euthanized, for no apparent reason whatsoever. Well New York Republicans have introduced a bill to make sure that kind of thing never happens to another innocent pet again. The bill titled 'Peanut's Law: The Humane Animal Protection Act,' would mandate a 72-hour waiting period before the Department of Environmental Conservation can euthanize any seized animal. It would also give the animal's owners a hearing before the state takes or puts down their beloved animal. This should be bipartisan and I hope Democrats in NY will jump on board. With all the problems in that state, why in the heck should taxpayer money and resources be afforded to environmental department tyrants to go confiscate pets and put them down. Peanut never hurt anybody and with the passage of this bill, his legacy will live on! I'm Tomi Lahren and you watch my show 'Tomi Lahren is Fearless' at Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
